Autobiography on Cameron Boyce

Someone I admire
Cameron Boyce was born on May 28, 1999. His parents are Libby and Victor
Boyce. He also has a little sister named Maya.He was an American actor, with Afro-
Caribbean and African American descent. He began his career as a child actor in
2008 when he was only nine years old. His
first role was in a horror film called Mirrors.
He also worked on several commercials
before he got into television. He later moved
on to doing more age-appropriate jobs when
he signed on with Disney. He first worked for
them as a child model for the Disney clothing
line. Later, with the same company, he
starred alongside three other children
(Peyton List, Karan Brar, and Skai Jackson) in
Jessie, a show about a nanny who takes care
of four affluent children in the city.

In the show, Cameron Boyce played a boy named Luke who was continually getting
into trouble, dancing, and flirting with his nanny. This was his longest-running and
most popular role with his fans so far. The character, Luke, has also appeared on
several other Disney cartoons as a guest character.

In 2011, Cameron worked with Disney again in a film called Judy Moody and the Not
Bummer Summer. In 2015, he also starred in feature films Eagle Eye, Grown Ups,
and Grown Ups 2. He was also known for his role as Carlos in the
three Descendants television films and for his lead role as Conor in Disney XD's
comedy series Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything. Boyce did voice acting for
various works, such as Jake in Jake and the Never Land Pirates and Herman
Schultz in Spider-Man. On July 6, 2019, Boyce died at the age of 20 due
to complications of epilepsy.

In the span of 40 days in 2017, Boyce helped raise over $27,000 for the Thirst
Project, which helps bring clean water to underdeveloped countries. In September
2019, Thirst Project officially changed the name of the Pioneering Spirit Award to the
Cameron Boyce Pioneering Spirit Award, to honour his work with the organization.
He also supported United Way of America's initiative to end homelessness. He
helped raise money for the HomeWalk in 2015, and continued to do so up until the
end of his life.[36] In May 2019, he participated in the opening ceremony of the 12th
annual HomeWalk in downtown Los Angeles, one of the largest public events to end
homelessness in the United States.
Boyce also worked closely with It's On Us, a social movement created to raise
awareness and fight against sexual assault on college campuses for both men and
women.[38]
He also worked with the Lucstrong Foundation, which provides grants to families
with children who are diagnosed with sickle cell disease and are going through
the bone marrow transplant process.
His final humanitarian project was called Wielding Peace, a social media campaign
in conjunction with Delaney Tarr, co-founder of March for Our Lives. In Boyce's own
words, the campaign would "help fight against gun violence by showing celebrities
and survivors 'wielding' a new kind of weapon — one of unity.
Following Boyce's death in 2019, The Cameron Boyce Foundation, a nonprofit
organization, was founded in Los Angeles through Network for Good that provides
young people artistic and creative outlets as
alternatives to violence and negativity and uses
resources and philanthropy for positive change in
the world.
On July 25, 2019, the foundation disclosed the
first project to be carried out was Wielding Peace,
which officially launched on August 16, 2019. The
foundation later donated $8,000 to Thirst Project
to build a well in Uganda.
Cameron was an inspirational and touched the hearts of so many persons by just
being himself. His death was tragic for everyone that knew him, but his parents said
with the Cameron Boyce Foundations at least his legacy and wiliness to help
persons will live on.
